Peacefully at Alexandra Marine & General Hospital in Goderich, Audrey J. Currie; forever young, in her 83rd year. Beloved wife, partner, and companion for sixty-two years of James A. (Jim) Currie of Goderich, formerly of Wingham. Surviving beside her husband of sixty-two years are daughter R. Ansley Currie & Robert (Bob) Widmann of Warkworth, sons J. Kemp Currie & Linda Ogren of Campbell River, B.C., and J. Laird Currie of Wingham, and granddaughters Madison and Angela Currie of Wingham. Also surviving is her sister Donna and brother-in-law Dr. James S. Hall Sr. of Goderich, formerly of Wingham and Port Colborne, ON., and sister-in-law Marion Middlebrooke of Orangeville. Predeceased by her parents James A. (Jim) Henry and Ethel (Johnson) Henry and brother Harold Henry. Audrey had been a resident at Maitland Manor where she lived contently among many new acquaintances and friendly caring staff. Audrey was a self-motivated and productive business entrepreneur and manager. Audrey was grounded in self acquired skills when she left school, and began training as a secretary in London, and held a secretarial job in Wingham when she married Jim. In time and together, Audrey & Jim evolved The Waxworks Boutique, a dynamically patronized gift shop. Then, after her first retirement to "housewife's boredom." took a job with The Wingham Advance Times selling advertising. In short order she became Sales Manager, held through changes in ownership. Her loyalty and productivity lead her to the position of Publication manager, a position she held until she retired to join Jim to seek the beauty and vistas that awaits any who make an effort. They soon learned and found the comfort and pleasure of the adage "Enjoying the Moment" with shared humor and wonderment at the bigger picture.
